A project of the Kootingal Lions Club Inc
In 2024 the exhibition
will be held
from 13 to 15 September 2024
Junior Art Sections 7, 8 and 9 prizes sponsored by
Kootingal Lions and Joblink Plus are proud to offer the youth of our area a forum to display their talents.
The great prizes offered here are a testament to the support Joblink Plus offers, to encourage young artists to continue with their art pursuits in various mediums into adult hood.
We have three different sections:
Section 7 for the age defined artists with three sections 6-8 years / 9-11 years / 12-13
years
Section 8 for Digital art. New this year one group covering ages 6 to 17 years old. Please
state what program you have used to create your digital work on the back of your art label.
Our younger artists have been asking for a digital section. Last year we had a digital artist as
our guest artist that created a lot of interest in our community from all ages. This year
Kootingal Lions, with the continued sponsorship from JobLink Plus have created a new
digital section. It is open to young people aged from as young as 6 to 17 years old. We are
looking forward to these entries.

Section 9 "International Peace Poster"
For over three decades, Lions clubs around the globe have been sponsoring a very special art contest in schools and youth groups. Creating peace posters gives children everywhere the chance to express their visions of peace and inspire the world through art and creativity. Young people with vision impairments may enter an essay on the same subject theme each year.
"Peace is not just about ending wars: it requires each of us to live with kindness, to solve problems, and to influence others around us with our positive actions."
This is 2023 winner for the world, an 11 year old child from China.
